How Does This Benefit Impact Wrestling?
So far, Tony Khan and AEW look like they re effectively flexing their newfound success on Scott D Amore and Impact in a bid to cement their position as the second-best wrestling company in the United States.
That may seem like a rat race of sorts because no one is going to topple WWE and the winner will always have to contend with its looming shadow, but the marketplace is much more competitive than it was two years ago.
Ring of Honor still has a presence because of its history as a home for some of the greatest indie talent over the last decade. NWA Powerrr just made the move to FITE TV, and NJPW s North American branch, New Japan Pro-Wrestling of America, is the company s latest attempt to expand into the U.S. Meanwhile, MLW recently announced a broadcasting deal with Vice TV.
